Default RWS

Found some Dynamit Nobel #11 percussion caps today. He had about 20 tins of them. Bought a couple of them, think I will go back and buy some more.I havent been able to find them in a couple of years. Stores have told me that they can no longer get them, but he told me that his distributor still has them.

they are almost impossible to find. I like the RWS caps. They usually will set any traditional rifle off.

I think they are the best. I bought 4 or 5 at Sportsman's whse. for 3.29.

The last time I had the renegade out I used cci and got just a slight hang-fire, used the RWS and instant ign. every time..

I like them enough to pay the haz-mat fee on them. Best caps available.

Last time I ordered them I bought 20 tins of them. I am still shooting them. But when they are gone, I will be on the look out again. Also the CCI Magnum work real good for me.

RWS is the only cap I've ever used, except for a few CCI someone gave me in a pinch. Nothing better than RWS. Hopefully the new company will keep making them. The 10.75 size was great on my T/C guns. I pressed them down onto the nipple with the hammer, carefully of course, until they bottomed out. You had to pry them off with a knife. Water tight to say the least.
